[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Depends on your area I guess. Does Verizon have more of a reliable coverage area for you, or does AT&T?

Also, how much data do you and your wife consume? If not a whole lot, 2GB may be fine for you until you do the iphone trick. If you do use a lot of data, then having unlimited already with Verizon might be a dealbreaker for you.

Remember, new phones are always coming out. Just because Verizon dosent have any phones that you REALLY like right now dosent mean that they wont have any next month or after the first of the year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yokopol:
Iphone 2g tricks is the way to go with att. Did it myself and hooked up my friends do. Still works ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ktrotter11:
My 2cents is stay with the unlimited, regardless of the phone most likely you will be tempted to eat through data
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Squidbert:
Personally, I would not switch carriers just because of a phone, let alone give up unlimited data. I really wish I had a Verizon account as the Galaxy Nexus looks to be a wonderful phone. Sure it has its drawbacks, it's not the most powerful phone out there, but it is a google phone and OS updates should come quickly and painlessly.

My only beef with Verizon (as well as Sprint) is that CDMA isn't widely accepted outside of North America, whereas GSM (AT&T, T-Mobile) is a world standard. I don't travel, but it's nice to have the option of purchasing an international phone, popping in my SIM and using it as i please, as opposed to relying on my carrier to dictate which devices are options to me.

Also, regarding the Nexus, why not allow your unlimited data plan to overcome it's shortcoming of not being expandable? You can open a Google Music account, upload your entire library to their servers, and access your music wirelessly, anywhere, on your phone OR a connected computer. You could also create a box.net or dropbox account to store other files in a "cloud" environment as well. Just a thought!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Russellmania:
Thanks for the replies from everyone. I chose to take the penny deal and sign up for AT&T, with one caveat. Since Amazon and AT&T both have a 30 day return/cancellation policy, I chose not to port my numbers over (they were in my old area code anyway) so I can have some overlap. I'm gonna try AT&T for a week or so and if I'm satisfied I'll cancel Verizon. If not, I'll cancel AT&T and keep my unlimited data. I'm sure I'm gonna love the phone and I don't think AT&T will be too bad so I'll probably stay with them but we'll see how it goes.

As for my reasons for switching, I want to make it clear that I'm not switching just for the phone. The phone is obviously one that I want, but other factors in my decision are that the phones are basically free, I'll save 20-25 bucks on my monthly bill, and I like the idea of being on a GSM network where I can roam globally if I ever travel and can import any number of phones if I want to later on. I also like that AT&T's 3G speeds are better and have a feeling if I had Verizon LTE for any length of time I'd find myself getting pissed off whenever it dropped to 3G and I took a huge speed it. Also, the phone I really have my eye on down the line is the SGS3, and considering AT&T carries a version of the SGS2 that's almost identical to the international version, I think it's a safe bet that they'll be one of the first to get the SGS3 in the states and it will be relatively unmolested by the carrier.

As for using the cloud to overcome the lack of storage on the Nexus, the problem with that for me is that where I work I get almost no signal for most of the day so if I wanted to use the phone as a music player I'd like to be able to carry as much of my 80+ gig music collection with me as possible since streaming just wouldn't work. Now with the money I saved on phones I can go get a 64 gig SD card for mine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Russellmania:
I got the phones. My wife is scared to use hers since we didn't get cases or screen protectors yet, but I've been using mine since last night and I am so in love with this phone right now. Screen is beautiful and crisp and the OS/UI is easily the smoothest android experience I've ever head. This thing is a gigantic step up from my OG Droid. Also loving the camera, which I've been playing with a bit and some of the gesture controls are pretty slick (like sliding on the notification bar to adjust brightness).

Only disappointment is that the "4G" speeds I get from AT&T around here have only ranged from around 1Mb-3Mb/s down, which is only marginally better than what I was getting on Verizon's 3G. With that said, I haven't really had time to test since we're kind of snowed in today, but coverage seems pretty solid around here. Overall, crazy fast data speeds were not my priority (I can totally respect that some people want them, but I don't need them). My priority was having a phone that didn't feel like it was constantly fighting me when I used it, and this phone is the tits. I don't expect to be cancelling, so I'll probably drop Verizon on Monday.

And to think this thing is only going to get better when I root and rom it, and then ICS is right around the corner!

I can only imagine what a destroyer of worlds the Galaxy S3 is going to be.

A bit off topic, but If your launcher is FCing, try launcher pro instead. It works for me on CM7 sd install, and rooted stock.

You could also try an older cm7 install.

As for the fire, I would play with it out of curiosity, but I like the rooted stock for everyday use.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lekofraggle:
I see, sorry. I was wondering how that would work.

Not knowing much about the system, would you need it to sync to the cloud? If yes, authentication could be a serious issue.

Does it allow non market installs, and can it go to the market?

I am not sure I would be interested if it cannot do these two things. If it could, it may be amusing, but it would have to be silky smooth for me to consider it a prime OS. Since the hardware is significantly slower on the nook, I am betting it is a no go, but that is just conjecture.

just a trick to make max allowed connection from 1 to 8 on gsm/umts network mode

make sure you get 3g network as this doesn't work over 2g connections

just make network mode and select network to automatic

and open mobile hotspot setting>manage devices>device limit

you 'll probably get 8 devices selections

[Motorola Photon 4G] hirent:
umm....its not a trick, its built-in, in the OS.

Here in the US, the carriers (Sprint for the Photon) control everything about their phones and tethering is one of the features that is locked. They (all) want money from customers and hence force customers to buy a tethering plan.

Fortunately for us, rooting solves the problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
Not to mention that Airtel will be reporting your data usage to Sprint as an international partner with them. That's the only reason you're even allowed on the Airtel network - because you have an active Sprint account.

You will be billed for data usage and airtime, at international rates without an international plan or a prepaid sim, you better believe that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deepak251146:
I hadnot yet activated my photon over sprint.And in my locality sprint international roaming partner is reliance cdma(confirmed).I had got it worked on any gsm sim card in india.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deepak251146:
I am not using over sprint international roaming.I installed native sim card and getting 8 devices mobile hotspot on 3g network on gsm/umts mode selection. sprint has nothing to do with this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deepak251146:
I appreciate your knowledge.

plz note that motorola photon's new update included 3G UMTS hotspot functionality for a single Wi-Fi enabled device .

release notes: www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Suppor...RN_Blur_Version.45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US.pdf

so I got it working from one device to 8 devices after switching network mode to automatic.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hirent:
Some good info for me here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
Please explain how you are getting this for free and how this applies to us? If not Sprint (who provides access and billing to these technologies *outside the US* using the "native" sim card), then who is your gsm/umts provider?
[Motorola Photon 4G] deepak251146:
It will not work on Sprint network nor wherever sprint coverage is available as on switching network mode to automatic it will connect to sprint network.

I am using it in india on airtel gsm sim card and "airtelgprs.com" apn for internet connection.Mobile hotspot's data connection is using my airtel's apn which is deducted from my gprs plan.I am using over 3 devices connected from my photon for a month now.

I am able to do this only after updating it to the new ota update available aka 198_6. In the updates release note mobile hotspot over 3g for 1 device has been revealed.you will get device limit as 1 on swiching network mode to gsm/umts. but when u make the network mode to automatic you 'll get device limit as 8 while you are still on 3g gsm network.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
So using Airtel in India is free? Or was your title suggesting a free tip to opening the max connections to 8?
[Motorola Photon 4G] deepak251146:
yeah you got me bro I was trying to suggest to open max connection to 8.

hello, i recently just flashed cm7 alpha 3. one particular issue which i have noticed is the choppy video playback (when on youtube for example). i searched the forums and there seems to be some people who have experienced this issue beginning with alpha 3.

since i only recently flashed cm7, and the version being alpha 3, i have no point of reference to determine which of the alphas is the most stable build.

to those who have been on alpha 2.1 as well as alpha 3, which would you consider to be the more stable build? also, does alpha 2.1 have video issues as i described herein above which i have found on alpha 3?

appreciate any insight you can give. thanks in advance.
